🔴 MARK CARNEY: “Our responsibility now is to come together - to take the greatest country in the world, and make it even better.” #EvenBetter 🇨🇦 #SteadyHandsAndProsperity ✅

Polievre exhorts Canadians to not watch CBC, to not believe anything they said. “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command”

I think they’re Don Lemon-ing Wolf Blitzer and his Situation Room. #CNN

ahhhh. and this is how he would “control” postal service, but most importantly, mail in ballots. gift article: wapo.st/4309Ysp

“Trevor Hugh Davis… first noticed last week that the website for the police accountability database had disappeared. He dug further and found that it had been down since Jan. 24” wapo.st/3QsHIXO

I’ve had eight hummingbirds at the feeders all January. A family of six plus two crypt-keepers who zealously guard their own feeders around the corners. We had a big snow. Still here. Last week all but the two disappeared! Poof! No sign of illness, either. And I clean/renew feeders frequently.

So let me get it straight. USA has tens of millions of Covid tests. $500 Million worth. They want to shut down the free testing program that helps limit the spread. In the name of avoiding waste, instead of giving them to volunteer/medical organizations, they want to waste $$$$$ destroying them. 🧐

is it just. me or did the world start to go to hell in 2016 when David Bowie died? The Starman protected earth all that time. Then he left us. We were at an inflexion point in history and he left us. We are now at another inflexion point. I never wanted to live in an inflexion point.

Sigh. Why am I not surprised? My 🇨🇦 MP used to talk about "the boys in short pants in the Prime Minister's Office" making all sorts of mischief by ignorantly puffing out their chests and wielding their power.

The director of the FDA’s food division resigned on Monday, saying the loss of critical employees made his work impossible. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President Trump’s new health secretary, has pledged to gut the division.

Roald Dahl's letter about his daughter.

Recently I’ve been cleaning the garage. This little video on how to wrap a cable so the coil lies flat is pretty good for extension cords and hoses. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEd7...

A worsening measles outbreak has taken root in Texas, sickening two dozen and hospitalizing nine on the western edge of the state, where childhood vaccination rates have dwindled in recent years.

@nigella.bsky.social Forgotten Cookies are now my signature home made gift on our street for Thank You or Merry Christmas, etc. This year, though, they have been falling fairly flat, though in the past their peaks held up overnight. I've been blaming it on humid weather, but have two questions:->

Aside from the sheer over-the-top photo app fun, this wall of working bubble gum dispensers is a real thing in The Udder Guys ice cream parlour in Cow Bay. To top it off, literally, a model train chugs around on its tracks near the ceiling. Time travel back to simpler times.

I walked into the Post office, the girl looked up and smiled and it was Mary Steenbergen! Ok, not really, but I asked if she were ever told that. She said she was running on the mountain last summer with no makeup and someone hollered, asking if she was the actor from Weeds (Yes, plus Reds) Cool.

I had heard of this but never knew what kind of information it contained. Now any time a customer service rep doesn’t answer within a reasonable time I’m going to be wondering.🤔 www.france24.com/en/americas/...

Let's see how many Liberals are here. #cdnpoli #peipoli

It could mean that the world financial system melts down when investors realize that Elon Musk may selectively default on US debt. Just saying.

Four years ago, El Salvador made Bitcoin legal tender, sparking global interest. Now, the law has been partially repealed—businesses no longer must accept Bitcoin, and it can’t be used for taxes. The country’s experiment with Bitcoin as a first-class currency has effectively ended.

So I'm hearing Vegas is having its least successful Super Bowl week ever. Not only because the strip has turned into a slum and the packages are Beyond expensive. They've lost money most days. But it seems Canadians are cancelling their trips. Cool. Not a Huge impact, but a wee bit. We're not seen!

This always makes me sad. #Anthropomorphism

There are many websites or social media pages on brands to choose if you want to Bye American, Buy Canadian. (Note: products from other countries than the USA that are processed here are ok re supporting 🇨🇦 businesses. But here’s one for just BC. buybc.gov.bc.ca?fbclid=IwY2x...
